I love button down shirts. And I really love button down shirts that are versatile enough to wear in a business setting and for a night out out with my wife or friends. For a shirt to be versatile enough to wear in a business setting, it usually needs to have a collar that doesn’t button down. When you wear those shirts with a tie, they look great, as the tie keeps your collar in place. Here’s the problem: when you wear the shirt without a tie, the collar is all over the place. It gets floppy, wants to lay down, or becomes uneven pretty quickly; see the pic above for a case in point (that’s Triple Crown winner, American Pharoah, by the way). It sucked that my favorite shirts looked great when worn with a tie, then looked awful in more casual settings because the collar wouldn’t stay in place. I’d tried collar stays, but they simply didn’t work.
